These are hiding behind the ivy on a garage wall. You'd never see them in the summer when the leaves are out.

Hi Scifan, What kinds of birds nest in these?

Well, probably a small one, like a house wren? Dave

I've never seen these bird houses before so I can't say for sure.

It would be a nice opportunity for a remote controlled camera then!

As long as the camera didn't grow legs and walk away in the middle of the night. A camera aimed at these bird houses would have to be mounted on a pole in a public back alley.

It could double as a security camera then! But never mind.

Well, I have an app on my iPad called iBird South - excellent guide even w/ sounds of the birds chirping - below a wren that appears to migrate to Saskatchewan and breed in the summer (blue circle added on second image) - a possibility? Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks very much for that. I have just downloaded the UK and Ireland lite version. It looks rather good.

Boy - hate to see that stuff! Today, we are getting rain which is sorely needed - the whole area and adjacent states are in a severe drought - forest fires are everywhere; Lake Lure near us w/ smoke extending into our Piedmont area. Wild fires are burning around and also in downtown Gatlinburg, TN (part of one of my recent travelogues to Tennessee and that area) - hope that the rain helps the fires, but will not eliminate the drought conditions - a couple recent pics below of the Gatlinburg area.
